I would suggest having packages for both.

The best way would be to use Debian's "alternative" system to choose 
which hid will run as /usr/bin/pcb. I also think GTK hid should have 
higher priority than lesstif since it's probably more friendly to new 
users. Advanced users can always override that later.
